Awesome performance, and I am sure you will just climb higher. At a week into the race we were neck and neck, but now my rank is in the 6000's. I was never looking at Rodriguez or Aru seriously as you had. But I did look seriously at Landa and Dumoulin, wish I would have kept them.

Looking forward to the rest day tomorrow.

I can't help myself, but...Chaves is the difference between me and the top 20 or 30. Losing Froome so early also cost me a lot.

Fantasy Cycling starts early in 2016! I entered a team for Fantasy Tour Down Under. A mix of familiar faces and some new ones. Not sure how I will be able to catch any TV coverage, will need to rely on news reports.

I don't know Ewan, and I already had 2 Orica Greenedge cyclists - Gerrans and Albasini.

In my mind the critical decision was Gerrans vs Porte. Can't afford both without going into the cheap end of the cyclist for most of the rest of the roster. Hopefully I made the right choice, otherwise it will be a long week.
